The initiative was part of the MP Police’s remarkable drive to keep a close watch on those involved in crimes against females, especially those who have a criminal background.
Following an increase in crimes against women over the previous few months in Madhya Pradesh’s rural and urban areas, a decision was made in this regard.
In addition, there have been other incidents of minor girls being raped and killed, which has prompted concerns about Madhya Pradesh’s state of law and order.
Director General of Police (DGP) Sudhir Saxena has issued a resolute directive to all senior police officers in Madhya Pradesh. They are to take swift action against those who commit crimes against women and ensure that they are prosecuted, instilling hope for justice in the hearts of the public.
DGP Sudhir Saxena has instructed the SP to compile a list of those implicated in crimes against women and girls during the last ten years.
During the meeting a couple of days ago, DGP Saxena also directed senior cops, including the Police Commissioners (CP) of Bhopal and Indore, to ensure that all schools in the state adhere to the Supreme Court’s guidelines regarding the safety and security of children.
